Agilolfings

The Agilolfings were a noble family that ruled the Duchy of Bavaria from 550 to 788. The dynasty was descended from the Suebi prince Agilulf, and Garibald I of Bavaria was the first Agilolfing duke of Bavaria. As they had their fate intertwined with their lords, the Merovingians, they opposed the rise of the Carolingian majordomos, who finally deprived the Agilolfings of their power in 788.
